Others Completed Sexena: Arena Tales [Final] [The Poundry]

[rai1810]

I know the endings fit with the personalities of the girls (except for Gargoyle i guess, i expected a bdsm/maledom ending with her) but damn, the game literally tells you Harem is the only way to have a not shitty life.

Sad that weapon girl didn't get an ending or more scenes either, since she was my favourite.

Someone asked if you can skip girls, but you can only skip the shopkeepers and Tamani since they're tagged as Event buttons. Armor girl is the one i skipped because despite not hating on futa content, I don't get off of watching the MC wank her and be done, just like i'm not too happy with blowjob/titjob only scenes.

Sounds like it's heavily leaning into the porn archetypes.

And yeah, I personally always found the "dude with tits" archetype to be boring.
Always the same "Here's a dude with a bigger dick than you. Pleasure his dick" type character.
Especially since, correct me if I'm wrong: There's no scenes where the MC pleasures any of the girls? Just the "They are on top, but are pleasuring him"?

So if i remember correctly the demo some years back had a Mac version. Wondering if anyone has seen that anywhere for this final release?

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

That dialogue with the rat-girl, lmao

 

[Dexco]

game ok but i was disapointed the bartender didnt flash her huge pair

 

[unexpiration]

a proper female domination game yes please!

 

[Melvis]

Call me a sap but I think it's BS that all of the waifu endings are bad-ends.

Okay: I know it's not only on this game. And, kind of a epidemic across all sites rating wise but: Can people please stop giving fake, 5 star reviews? (and for some other games: fake 1 stars)

You're not supposed to "offset" reviews. If something has a bad score: It's for a reason.
Like: This game is very poorly made to begin with. Atop that: It's falsely advertised, copy pasted and atop all: Bragged about in it's false adverts.

If you post a long list of issues/complaints of the game. Then give it a 5/5... that's NOT how that works. 5/5 implies the game is PERFECT and CANNOT be improved in ANY way. Really feel like this mentality comes from the "hate out of ten" metacritic thing.
That said: Overall, compared to it's peers: It's a below average game. Made even worse by the false adverts. Most reviews and comments here really boil down to "If you have really low standards, and like a VERY specific artstyle and hyper futa+lolies: You'll find this to be okay!". Point being: It's not glowing reviews for a reason. Even the positive ones are more "It's not THAT bad, but... it could be worse."or "I managed to find one character I liked." or "At LEAST I can get it for free here."

Those are NOT the testimonies of a 3+ star game.

I 1000% knew you are gonna freak out

Well, one thing to note is that people have strong preferences, aaaand they can also obviously differ from one another.

Look at Last of Us 2 and how polarized it is (although I understand this doesn't even come close to that scenario... ).

Another example is another game posted recently, Meteor World Actor.
Even on vndb people were trashing it which they quoted below the post but someone went against the current and gave a different opinion, so it is just like an asshole, everyone has one.

And to be fair, another thing to note is that there is no simple "1 truth". There is I guess a decent generalization you can make in most cases but that still won't apply to everyone, and just because the "majority" disagrees with someone opinion that does not automatically means it is wrong I don't think.
(Now I am not going into IRL issues with this mentality, hentai doesn't hurt anyone or affects people to much degree.)

So all in all even a review that goes against your own should be a good review, unless the person just says "good game ".

ALTHOUGH, (and sorry for missing that part of his review...) even by text he seems to be giving a 4 which he also states at the end, but giving a 5 just so "you bump up the overall score" is pretty dumb if the negative reviews are justified. (Sorry again, I glared over that part)

To be clear: Yes, it was partually that review. HOWEVER: This also include 2 reviews that I've reported, and since: has been deleted. And: Considering they got deleted. They were clearly not "good reviews".
His review IS okay. It just gives the wrong score. If I rate a game. And for example: It's I play a game that is a 2-3 star. But I see a lot people post empty 5 star reviews. I'm not gonna bump it down to 1 star to "even it out". The times I have had lowered a star, was due to false advertisement or similar.

For example: Panthea, lying about having choices, lesbian content, females etc.
Or a game I like: Third Crisis. Currently, as a maledom game: It's a strong 4/5. Still got lots of bugs to work out. But "as advertised", it's a 2/5. Due to basically missing 80 % of the game content atm. For example: Say you bought No-Mans sky SOLELY for the multiplayer. And then, at launch: You find out there's no multiplayer.

But yes: People's preference play a part. But if you look at non-troll reviews for say: TLOU2: It's not reviews like "Well... the game IS kinda shit. But still a solid 6/10. But since there's so many people voting 1, I'm gonna vote 10 to balance that out!"
So, as said: My issue was with "fake" reviews that just aim to bump the score in either direction.

But a "review" that's shorter than 1 sentence just going "It's not fair to compare this game to other games! 5/5" isn't useful feedback. But if someone gave em a speech that "Despite being shit, this game had EVERYTHING I asked for: A dude with a hyper dick getting a handjob!" then: I'd still question the rating. But it'd at least have something that tried to justify it.

I have seen this issue in several other games. But: In this one: It was just VERY blatant xP
(Yeah, that was the part I focused on.)

The "game" honestly wasn't that good. It was mediocre vn crap with art that gave me a slight tingle, but not much else. I get that not all monster girl games have to do the battlefuck theme. The issue is, this "game" basically screamed it, what with the naked combatants and how most of them were pretty eager to bang. That's not even the most egregious offence of the game, although we'll get there soon.

The dialogue is bland, the shops are closed for no reason (outside terrible scripted events that have even less appealing payoff), and the plot is just an excuse to get to the arena. I don't mind being railroaded in a story if what comes about is actually worthwhile. The only saving grace is the art, and that's wasted on uninteresting scripted scenes and combat.

But, the most egregious part is Tamani. You stole a character from another game and didn't even make her a combatant in the game, or keep any of her personality around. What. The. Duck.

1/5-The art is fine. The rest is garbage.

Bro it has all my favorite characters! Humanoid fox snake thing, the black knights from dark souls, and BOOK! I fucking LOVE book.

Ok, I need to reply to this one...
Tamani is not actually stolen but rather part of a cooperation between Fenoxo and theses Guys. Fenoxo say'd he wanted to include some of Sexena's Characters in TiTS as well. And about her personalty... Well....

I mean, Tamani was as eager for a willing partner, sure. She was also brazen and possessive, given she only joins her daughters during an encounter as more a matter of opportunity to further increase her grip on the PC than as a mutual thing. In this, she just wants one pregnancy, and it's done. She does make attempts to effectively rape the PC, but it's so tame for her character.

I just hope they add more scenes, there was like 1 scene per character, which sucks in a porn game lmao

 

[Kattlarv]

I mean... yeah. The game was so shit that they nuked and deleted it xD

They picked a useless artist for the job. Lied in the advertisement. And published a mess.
